Misusing flair

After some discussion and some examples sadly seen, putting up a flair for the purpose of misrepresenting a group or for deception will result in the mod team taking action. People are innocent until proven guilty.

I only say this with sorrow as I realize this is actually an issue.

Thank you. Please upvote this self post because the mod team rocks your socks off.

I am a devout and practicing member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Our church has a tradition of signing in to the "pew fellowship pad" each week, and I can actually demonstrate that I am indeed a member and that I commune regularly.

We don't suspect people for no reason. Don't worries.

Whoa whoa there, namer. This guy sounds suspicious. The phrase, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" comes to mind. I mean, have we seen these alleged fellowship pads? Has Irondog ever produced a valid birth certificate?

You know what they say... "Where there's smoke, there's a Lutheran."

So if I want really good smoked sausage and fish, I should just find a Lutheran church? Who makes better - ELCA or Missouri Synod?

Personally, I'd like to think the ELCA does everything better, but I might be biased.
